That's awesome, I was debating between Tartufo and Coffee Merino... took a risk and ordered without looking at it in person. Glad i made that choice, love the warm feeling when i sat in the car. Can't wait to take the delivery tomorrow.

See #9 above; one of the BMW reps in Palm Beach had indicated this credit if you are coming to BMW from another brand, needs to be confirmed if it even exists.

(I didn't look into it any further since I qualify for Loyalty credit as a current BMW owner).

Thanks a lot for this information Paul, didn't realize this credit is available. Dealer do know that i was driving Mercedes Benz GLC (it a lease car) when i placed the order for X5. Let's see if they will honor this credit. Is this credit from BMW or by the dealer ?

Cheers,
Suresh.

Unless you negotiated before hand, its difficult to get this credit now. You can definitely ask but the dealer will refuse.

Did you get loyalty credit of 1000$ on your first bmw purchase? Could you share the proof so that we can show to our dealer?

Sorry, I am eligible for Loyalty due to being a current BMW owner.

When I was test driving X5 in Palm Beach, I had taken an Audi A4 to the dealership and the CA talked about "BMW gives you 'conquest' credit instead of Loyalty credit if you are coming from other brands."

I have had no need to confirm his statement but some posts in this thread confirm something similar.

This forum helped to do the negotiation, looks like everyone is getting around 5-7% discounts..

Man. I feel I got screwed only getting 4.5% on my 50i. I will not let this happen again. This forum definitely opened my eyes and taught me a lot.

After a long 5 weeks, finally took the delivery of this Awesome (Gorgeous

) beast... dealer did a great job prepping up for the delivery but it rained on us.

Honestly i am pretty overwhelmed with all the features now, need to spend time to learn all of them. Started using "Gesture" control right away to operate the Audio.

2019 BMW X5 Price Details

Net Total Build: $79,435
Destination Charge: $995

Total Suggested Price: $80,430
Dealer Discount 5.73%: $4,608.64

Total Purchase price before APR Credit: $75,821.36
APR Credit: $2000

Final Purchase Price: $73821.36

I originally planned on leasing the car, just few days ago decided to go with financing. Applied directly from the BMW website and got it approved right-away. I forwarded the approval email to my CA and told him to make sure to add this approval to my Order. Before signing the papers found out dealer upcharged the interest rate to 3.89%. After a few back & forth, I forced them to bring it down to the BMW finance offer of 2.89%. Other than this everything was smooth... so make sure to check all the numbers before signing the papers.

Going to spend lot of time this weekend to get to know the features..

CincySurG05 · 01-04-2019, 10:09 PM

BTW i didn't get "Conquest offer/credit" of $1000... it need to be discussed during the original negotiation.

Beautiful color combination. I got the same interior color. Coffee is the perfect shade of brown and should look nice over time.

ven7782 · 01-05-2019, 12:12 PM

2.89% APR is a great deal. Oddly BMW does this low rate only on certain markets and Boston being one of them. I never understood this reasoning. Sadly for NJ it was 4.35%. I took it for the APR credit and planning to refinance. But 3.49% is the best available in the market unless someone can suggest a FCU with a better APR.

Are you sure is this BMW doing or the dealer adding the upcharge ? I believe it's dealer doing this... BMW should have mentioned this in their offer or in a fine print. My dealer said it is always 3.89% for them, I told them to honor what BMW advertised in their website.

BMW advertised as 4.35% on the website. I always check this and make sure everything is correct. It depends on the region and they go by the zipcode. And your dealer was trying to cheat when he up marked your APR. I would not be happy with that.

Ah ok.. so it is by the region then. For us it showed 2.89% so i guess that why the dealer honored it.
